Azur Lane, I really didn’t lose my memory!

There are still two battleships and one aircraft carrier left on the opposite side.

We have one destroyer and one aircraft carrier.

The situation was unfavorable, but fortunately, Lafite had sailed to the Sardinia team's position and began to occupy the point.

As long as they can occupy the point, the game will be declared their victory.

It’s just that the base point is different from ordinary points. Ordinary points are considered successfully occupied if they are controlled for one minute, while the base point requires three minutes.

The two teams launched a long battle of attack and defense.

Lafei was smoking at the point, and with the help of the vision provided by Aijiang's carrier-based aircraft, he began to jump and wash the superstructure of the opposing battleship.

Veneto and the others couldn't let Lafite occupy the point, so they could only move the blind smoke towards the point.

Lafite is already very skilled at accelerating and decelerating to dodge artillery shells, and the opponent has no radar, so as long as the smoke screen does not dissipate for the time being, it will be easy for him to dodge the artillery shells.

Lu Xiuyuan knew that this was not a solution, because Lafite's smoke screen could not last for three minutes. Once the smoke screen dissipated, Lafite would be gone, and Kizuna Ai alone would be powerless to save the situation.

At this time, Lu Xiuyuan noticed an opportunity.

He immediately ordered: "Ai-chan, go and sink the Empire!"

"But if I go to tear down the empire, what about Lafite? Who will provide her with vision?" Ai-chan asked.

"Forget about the vision for now. Laffite just holds the position. Ai-chan, go and tear down the Empire immediately! This is our only chance to turn the tables."

Although she didn't know how powerful he was, Ai-chan still listened carefully to Lu Xiuyuan's words. She immediately gave up escorting Laffey and instead launched a torpedo plane to attack the Empire.

After the fierce battle with Miss Nagashima, most of the Empire's hangars were used up. At this moment, compared with Kizuna Ai's regular aircraft carrier which was almost fully loaded with carrier-based aircraft, the Empire was not superior in terms of the number of hangars.

Her teammates Veneto and Marco Polo's air defense was not very good. After Kizuna Ai's desperate efforts to smash the plane, the Empire was sunk soon after.

Kizuna Ai was also sunk by the last wave of bombers that took off before the Empire sank.

At this time, Veneto and his two men were approaching the point, and Lafite's smoke screen was gradually dissipating.

Lu Xiuyuan immediately asked Lafite to put on the Sea Soul camouflage and withdraw from the position.

Although Lafite did not occupy the point just now, because it was at the point, the Sardinia team's point jump ability was temporarily stopped. After this period of time, Lafite team's score was slightly ahead of Sardinia team.

The Sardinia squadron also lost all its radar ships and aircraft carriers, leaving only two battleships.

Next, Lafite only needs to use its concealment advantage to ensure that it is not sunk before the end of the exercise time, and then it will be the victory of Lafite team.

This is exactly what Lu Xiuyuan was thinking.

However, Veneto was the leader of the Sardinian camp after all, and she quickly saw through Lu Xiuyuan's little tricks.

Frankly speaking, the commander's command was good, but for some reason it was a bit conservative and rigid, as if he was treating everyone as real battleship commanders rather than ship girls.

Indeed, the combat methods of KanColle and battleships are indeed very similar, and even completely identical in some aspects.

But it would be a mistake to really regard KanColle as the commander of battleships. To command KanColle into battle, one must be full of imagination and cannot command according to the old-fashioned tactics.

Great successes often originate from absurd ideas.

As long as you dare to think, it is possible to turn an aircraft carrier into an aerospace carrier by carrying planes.

Veneto gave new instructions.

She actually parted ways with Marco Polo, one guarding her own position while the other went to occupy the position of Lafite team.

Lu Xiuyuan realized that things were going to go wrong. If his own position was occupied, the score advantage would be nothing and the exercise would be directly judged as a loss.

There is still a lot of exercise time left, which is enough for Marco Polo to occupy the point. Now there is only one way to win the game.

Although Lu Xiuyuan did not give any orders, Lafei already knew it.

That is to sink Veneto before Marco Polo occupies the point and then occupy their point.

The little Laffey did not hesitate and immediately opened fire with the Triumph gun.

The small-caliber shell hit Veneto and also exposed Rafi's position.

Rafi can't pull smoke, otherwise she will lose her vision.

Similarly, Lu Xiuyuan could no longer provide vision for Laffite. According to the regulations, his vision came from the team's ship girl. Now that everyone was "sunk", only Laffite was left, and he could only give orders based on Laffite's vision.

The battleships and destroyers fired at each other.

Laffey had lost a lot of ship durability and torpedo tubes in the previous battles, and now she was engaging the battleship again. Although she avoided many shells by accelerating and decelerating, Veneto's gunnery was not just for show.

Seeing that Lafite was skilled in dodging shells, she immediately gave up on the volley attack and instead fired the cannons one by one to keep the fire going.

Veneto knew that with the current durability of Lafite's ship, it would be impossible for it to withstand a single shell from her, so she only needed one shell.

Finally, Veneto got her moment.

Lafite was declared sunk and victory belonged to the Sardinian squadron.

Soon after, the members of Team Laffey gathered at the maid cafe in Noshiro.

Although Lu Xiuyuan kept comforting everyone to relax, saying that participation was the most important thing and that we were a traveling team at the beginning of the exercise, we still felt a little bad because we really lost, and we lost the first game at that.

Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Lu Xiuyuan wanted to comfort them: "Actually... think about it from another perspective. It's already pretty good that we can beat the Sardinia team led by Veneto like this, isn't it? If it was a weaker team, maybe we would have won... right?"

Lu Xiuyuan thought about it and felt that there was something wrong with what he said.

Why does it seem like it is meant to boost others' morale and destroy one's own prestige?

But honestly speaking, it's pretty good that this hastily put-together team can perform like this. If everyone's ship equipment could be a little stronger, they might really win.

But unfortunately...ship equipment is difficult to strengthen except through modernization.

Xin Tiao Qian saw that Lu Xiuyuan wanted to comfort everyone. She was actually quite thoughtful, but she usually looked sinister and it was not easy for her to show it.

The girl stretched and said, "I haven't had such a painful fight in a while. I feel refreshed after the fight!"

"That's right, Commander."

Xin Tiao Qian looked at Lu Xiuyuan and said boldly: "It's been a long time since we last did it. Let's go back and do a crazy do together later?"

183-Mixed bathing is a good civilization

To survive and reproduce...

In other words, eating and bitterness are the two major driving forces that motivate human beings to strive for something.

Some people can relieve physical and mental stress and put themselves in a good mood by eating their favorite foods.

Some people find astringency a way to relieve stress.

Lu Xiuyuan thought, maybe Xin Tiao Qian wanted to use the stickers to relieve the depression after losing the game?

But the little girls are still here now. Is it really okay to say something so explicit in front of everyone?

Xin Tiaoqian gave Lu Xiuyuan a reassuring look, and then she said to everyone like Lu Xiuyuan's assistant: "What are your plans next? Where are you going to play?"

"Where are we going?" Everyone looked at each other.

I just lost the exercise, how can I have the mood to go out and play now?

Although the commander told everyone a long time ago to keep a normal mind and focus on participating.

But after all, we have trained together for so long, and I still feel a little unwilling.

Especially Santiago and Anchorage, the two of them didn't even have a chance to play. Although the two didn't say anything, Santiago was no longer as energetic as before, and Anchorage also lowered her head and didn't speak. Anyone could see that everyone was in a bad mood.

After all, if I win, I can go camping on an uninhabited island with the Commander for a month.

"Are you all unhappy because you can't go camping with the Commander?" Xin Tiao Qian asked, then looked at Lu Xiuyuan and said, "Well, Commander, the problem is now very obvious, can you think of a solution?"

Lu Xiuyuan thought to himself, there’s nothing I can do about it.

He understood what Xin Tiao Qian meant.

Qian-chan wanted him to make a sacrifice and give Laffey's team an extra reward of camping on an uninhabited island to comfort them.

but......

It’s not that Lu Xiuyuan didn’t want to give it. Anyway, he is immortal now. In the face of endless time, a month or a year is nothing.

But the problem is that if he gives it now, then wouldn’t the ship girls who are fighting fiercely in the training ground outside for the reward be clowns?

This is not appropriate...

Just when Lu Xiuyuan was thinking about how to express his meaning tactfully.

Noshiro, the maid from the maid cafe, walked up to Laffey and little Befa with omelette rice and placed it on the little girl's desk.

She noticed the depressed mood of everyone present, pursed her lips and said: "You... played well this morning."

"But..., I still lost." Rafi drooped her ears, and it was obvious that losing the exercise was a big blow to her.

"Isn't it normal to lose?" Noshiro said, "You're talking as if no one has ever lost. Winning and losing are common in the military. If you lose, you can just win again next time."

Rafi retorted: "The commander has never lost... The commander's exercise winning rate has always been 100%. This time Rafi embarrassed the commander. The commander's exercise winning rate is no longer 100% because of Rafi..."

Lu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment.

Then I realized that the 100% success rate in exercises should refer to exercises within the game.

It turns out that Lafite was unhappy because of this matter.

Lu Xiuyuan was just about to say that he didn’t care about the winning rate, Lafite, you don’t have to mind it.

Noshiro untimelyly dismantled him: "Commander, he is such a slacker in the exercises, his 100% winning rate should have dropped long ago."

Hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan didn't know whether Lafei was happy or not, but he was unhappy anyway. Lu Xiuyuan retorted: "Hey, hey, hey, Noda, when did I ever cheat? Don't pretend to be innocent."

Noshiro rolled his eyes at him and said, "As soon as you saw that your fleet was losing, you immediately contacted the referee to suspend the game, then suddenly left with all sorts of reasons, and then used that as an excuse to ask for a rematch. Isn't that just cheating?"

Lu Xiuyuan was speechless.

Okay, that's right, I'm a scoundrel.

When you are conducting an exercise in the game, once you see that your fleet is about to be defeated, you must immediately use the SL method to restart it. Otherwise, how can you maintain a 100% success rate in the exercise?

"Cough cough!"

In order to prevent Noshiro from revealing his dark history again, Lu Xiuyuan coughed twice and said, "Um... Lafei, and everyone else, if it's because of the 100% winning rate, don't worry about it. I don't care about those things."

"I should have said it at the beginning. The most important thing is participation and experience. Grades and the like are not that important. Just do your best."

That being said, both everyone and Lu Xiuyuan actually wanted to win.

But Lu Xiuyuan also knew that the possibility of winning was slim. After all, their team was put together temporarily, and there were many problems because of the temporary arrangement.

While other teams were still making progress, Lu Xiuyuan's team was still trying to make up for their shortcomings. The outcome of such an exercise was actually doomed from the beginning.

"I agree with the commander's point of view." Noshiro rarely disagreed with Lu Xiuyuan. She continued, "Although you lost, the efforts you made in preparing for the exercise and the time you spent training with the commander are precious treasures that even the winning team cannot have."

Shinjo Akane clasped her hands together and high-fived, saying, "Sou~Although we lost, everyone's attention has been on the exercise these days. From another perspective, can our team have some fun with the commander to relax?"

"Commander, am I right?"

Xin Tiao Qian winked at Lu Xiuyuan without leaving a trace.

Lu Xiuyuan nodded and made an OK gesture. If he just wanted to accompany Team Lafite for a few days, there would definitely be no problem.

With the continuous comfort from Akane Shinjo and Noshiro, everyone gradually felt relieved and the atmosphere at the table gradually eased.

After finishing his meal at the maid cafe, Lu Xiuyuan stood up and said, "Everyone is tired from today's exercise. I think everyone should go back and have a good sleep."

"No, Commander, didn't we agree to play together?" said Xin Tiao Qian.

"But, I see everyone looks very tired... shouldn't we take a break first and play tomorrow?"

There are many night owls in the Lafite team, and asking them to get up early to conduct drills is really a torture for them.

Especially after eating and drinking, fatigue set in. Lu Xiuyuan saw Miss Changdao's eyelids closing several times, and she almost couldn't open them.

"That's right... emmm..." Akane Shinjo rolled her eyes and suggested, "Then how about we go to the bathhouse and take a bath to relax first, and then go home to sleep?"

"Take a shower?" Lu Xiuyuan asked in confusion, "Don't everyone have a bathroom at home? Why don't you just go home and take a shower? Why do you have to go to the bathhouse?"

Xin Tiao Qian turned her eyes to the commander who didn't understand romance: "Commander, bathing and taking a shower are different. Taking a shower is to clean the body, but bathing is to enjoy life."

"I'm telling you, Commander, the bathhouse in our port area is super luxurious and comfortable~"

"Oh, I forgot, Commander, you went to the public bath last time."
